• In

IMRT

plans often the

most exposed volume

is not a relating agglomeration (cluster),

but in the organ

takes place sporadically

bladder

: not the same volume receives the highest dose in IMRT than in 4F-box treatments

rectum

: sometimes the close same division

sigmoid

: always the close same

So it is deserving to compute for OARs i BT dose planning in this way:

they

had received approximately the PD of the external beam treatment.
